    I'm enjoying using this, though it occasionally can't understand me, especially during the word game. I love asking for music, any kind, and have it play. I love that I can use it to set alarms, to ser time limits, to ask the weather and to have Alexa tell me corny jokes. Recently I purchased the wifi plugs, but I haven't set them up yet.

    Alexa has been a great addition to our household. She is simple to connect and easy to use. We use her daily to keep us informed about current event, enjoy her music and have connected several devises to her to make our house smarter.

    You will be amazed by the sound that comes out of this device. So easy to use and the voice activation allows me to change the station even from a distance. We plan on buying another one because our grown son has enjoyed ours so much .

    Is this the best Wi-fi speaker in this price range? No. Is it the coolest? Absolutely. The echo is easily one of the most unique gadgets I have in my house right now. It's pretty cool as a stand alone speaker but way cooler considering the smart capabilities of this device. My favorite part about the echo is that as time goes on it gets better not worse thanks to new skills being developed on a regular basis. The only complaint I would have with this speaker is that at high volumes the low end gets very distorted.

    The Amazon Echo is great! My whole family is enjoying it. I got it for Father's day, and have used daily since then. Alexa is amazing! Her voice recognition is unbelievable, and it even compensates for my foreign accent. My only complaint is that the the Echo volume isn't high enough for me. That's why I gave it a 4-star rating.

    The amazon echo is a fun and easy to use device. Sound quality for music is excellent and Alexa answers questions easily. Definitely a must have if you subscribe to prime as you have lots of music choices. Highly recommend the echo.

    Alexa is a fun little assistant and the beginning of my home automation. It can answer many simple questions that need answering right away like the current weather and sports scores. Plays music and tells bad jokes. Most importantly though it will control many household items via voice. Connected to my thermostat easily and effectively.

    Got this over the google home because I felt it was more refined than the google's offering. Thwe most useful feature IMO is the ability to play music by just saying what you want to listen to not having to search through your own digital library or CD's. The other is the home automation which is great and very simple to use.

    The integration to my home automation is transparent, I hope devices offered a way/skill to connect to all systems so I could have running amazon-google-apple-microsoft at the same between them. Amazon per what I researched was the best at my time of purchase, and it really makes it simple. It delivers on what they promise.

    I love alexa. She can make me laugh, keep up with my grocery list, play lullabys for my baby and minions songs for my toddler. Her weather forcasts are awesome. The only thing i wish she knew as well is how to speak other languages. If you ask her she says she only speaks english right now but is always learning. So i cant wait until that update happens! So cool.

    My family received this Echo at Christmas, and it is used almost daily. Listening to music, adding to shopping lists, asking trivia, etc. we loved it so much, this now lives downstairs, and we have an Echo Dot in each bedroom.
